Learning Spanish

[Waku]

As it seems there are some people around here learning Spanish I've thought it would be a good idea to compile a list of common mistakes about our language:

finito is not Spanish, it's Italian.
desperado doesn't exist, the right one is desesperado.
ñ is an extra letter we have, different from n,
check this to see how important is to not to mix them up:
c o n o=c o n e
c o ñ o=c u n t
(alt+164, alt+165)

I bet JB knows some more...

Yep, a funny one: año=year, ano=a s s h o l e. Very important not to mix up those

Hmm, interesting.

The Greek equivelent to them would be:

Cone: Konos
We will skip Waku's second example.

Year: Etos, or Chronos
As shole: Gaidaros Trypa

Still working on sentance structure, as far as writing it goes.

I still remember when some spanish studying friends of mine returned from thier first lesson, after telling the teacher that they had twelve *******s
(yes we start sudying French, Spanish or German at the age of twelve in this country).

Apparently the new boards changed the word to '*' think you got what I was trying to say annyway.

I forgot to say that every body in school draws an ~ over the n in the Geometry book

como (do you get the ~ on the computer to go over the N?)

ALT+164 = ñ
ALT+165 = Ñ
